First it is great you are tackling a real social issue.
If it works it looks like it could have a positive impact. How ever I have a few concerns/questions
1. How will the incentives be aligned? More people standing trial = larger potential market.
2. This is a false dichotomy.
“Not having to deal with foundations”
There are other models that do not require you to take donor funding. Take a look at the model by Muhammad Yunus[0] or writing by Porter on shared value [1]. For e.g one could generate cash flow for expenses without having investors looking for a return.
3. While a profit motive can be useful to encourage innovation and competitiveness, this can have negative consequences. For e.g in this case what is good for business is not necessarily good for society.(more suspects)
4. Would you consider this a fundamental solution?
5. What outcome are you after?
6. Is there a way to prevent people even Being suspected of a crime? Preventing them committing a crime?
7. Using leverage points from Donella Meadows [2] Where does this fall?
8. Have you looked at systems theory? Very useful for really complex social challenges like the one you are trying to tackle acumen has a free course. [3].
8. Is this solution a short term one with a more long term(fundamental) plan for the future?
